Well, I'm awfully late but wanted to post this card anyway! I used one of Lia's wonderful images that you can find at the Whimsy Stamps Store. Isn't this guy just wonderful! The challenge was punches and edges. I used an edge punch for the top and little frog punches for the accents. I'm always needing male cards and thought this would definitely fit the bill!

Happy Wednesday!! TAGS is our challenge
theme this week at Crafty Creations Challenge Blog. You can use a tag incorporated into your project, or
make a tag, it's your choice!

Have fun with it and link up your projects below. We can't wait to see how you use tags in your creations!

The new challenge at Just Some Lines for this 2 week period is no squares! I took it to the extreme I know but sometimes we crafters do that! I used not one straight edge - I even used a round card! I fussy cut her so that there would be no straight edges also - I guess I could've cut her in a circle but I was going a little looney with circles! LOL Anyway, I do hope you come join us at Just Some Lines for our challenge and just think it could be you that wins some of Jehanne's awesome images! Now hop on over to the blog and check out what the team has conjured up and submit your entry - it's easy and FUN!

I chose to use the watermelon! I cut some images from my cricut, punches and cuttlebug! I think I used every machine in the craft room! Anyway. come join us at Pattie's Creations Design Challenge! and...while you're at the Blog - check out what the team came up with - too cool!!

This is what I came up with -- as you can tell - I'm starting Christmas Cards! and I used this digital image from:

"Megan
Tucker works from home as a freelance illustrator/designer under the
name "Kindy Garden". She illustrates mainly for the children's &
greeting cards markets predominately selling her artwork especially for
little ones online (See her online store here!). and she is offering 2 images from her Store!!! Yea Kindy garden!!

Christmas in July -- so I chose to use the Ballerina Babe image! Is she too cute?? Well, it's never too early to
start getting ready for Christmas....So....what are you waiting for -
come join us at Lollipop Crafts Challenge Blog and show us your Christmas in July!!

You can use and do whatever you want! I so wanted to include a cricut cut - so i cut a bicycle from the Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge - and inked it up and colored Sean and That's pretty simple! I wanted to something out of the normal "too cute" stuff - i have a lot of male birthdays and I think this works!!
